Gold prices heading for weekly gains; import tariffs on gold bars?
Investing.com --InvestingPro members are already seeing monthly returns that would typically take years to achieve.
At the start of the month, they received an updated list of AI-picked stocks — now available for less than $9/month as part of our limited-time summer sale — which included ViaSat (NASDAQ:VSAT) stock.
Fast-forward to today, and the satellite provider is up a game-changing 67.79% in the first four market sessions of the month.
Even non-subscribers who read this column on Tuesday had the opportunity to score above-average results. Back when the stock was up 23% in the first two sessions of the month, we warned that our AI-powered stock-picking models were flagging that the stock had further upside going into earnings.
While we couldn’t have anticipated that the stock would shoot up another outstanding 35%+ from there, what we did know was that it had a much higher chance of success than your average stock pick.
In fact, that’s the real secret behind our AI-powered stock picker: it continuously analyzes all stocks in the market — including non-US stocks — using 150+ investor-grade financial metrics, selecting only those with the highest probability of outperforming.
That’s how it has managed to notch stellar results for the full list of picks, such as:
- Win rate: 94.29%
- 26 strategies (74.29%) are outperforming their benchmark indices by an average of 7.52%
- Average YTD performance of the composed strategies: 15.43% Vs. 7.88% for the S&P 500 (more than twice the returns).
*These are real-world numbers; not backtested or fictional results.

But how does the AI stock picker actually work?
At the start of each month, our AI refreshes each strategy with up to 20 stock picks. These selections are based on a blend of more than 150 well-established financial models compiled by our machine learning model on over 15 years of financial data worldwide.
Some stocks are added, others retained, and a few are removed, reflecting how the model reassesses each company’s medium-term growth potential.
To track performance, each strategy uses equal weighting across all selected stocks. While you’re not required to follow that weighting exactly, it offers a consistent benchmark to evaluate how well the model identifies opportunities across the board.
At the end of the day, stock picking is still a game of probabilities. But the key isn’t just finding winners — it’s knowing when to move on from the ones that no longer stack up.
Since launch, the model has done just that — delivering more than a few standout success stories along the way.
As a matter of fact, our backtest suggests that going the long run is the surest path to long-term wealth generation.
